A few years ago my cousin handed down to me his old box - Dell Dimension XPS-233 - a Pentium II (233MHz) system.
Using the fantastic resources gathered on Bill's AL440LX Installation Guide, I installed Intel's BIOS. By doing this, it allowed me to use a Celeron 533MHz processor instead of being restricted to a Pentium II 333MHz processor on the Dell BIOS.
A slocket (or slotket) was also needed to install the PPGA form factor Celeron processor on a Slot 1 motherboard.
Here's the configuration of the Dell system I'm using now:
- Dell AL440LX motherboard
- Intel Celeron 533 MHz processor
- MSI Master v2 slotket (MS6905)
- 256MB PC100 SDRAM
- MSI Starforce 816 graphics card (GeForce2 MX - 32MB AGP)
- Yamaha OPL3a sound (onboard)
- 4.3GB Seagate Medalist hard-drive (two of them)
- LG 40x CD-ROM
- Mitsubishi Diamond View DV17NF monitor
- Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft)
